Description

Get Superior Results in Actin Staining Studies
Phalloidin is a bicyclic peptide belonging to a family of toxins isolated from the deadly Amanita phalloides “death cap” mushroom and is commonly used in imaging applications to selectively label F-actin. Fluorescently-labeled phalloidin has virtually identical binding properties with actin from different species including plants and animals. Phalloidin binds F-actin with high selectivity while fluorescein provides green fluorescence. Demonstrating very little nonspecific staining, fluorescein phalloidin allows high-contrast discrimination of actin staining.

Use in Multiple Applications
Fluorescein phalloidin can be used to visualize and quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations. Fluorescein phalloidin staining is fully compatible with other fluorescent stains used in cellular analyses including fluorescent proteins, Qdot nanocrystals, and Alexa Fluor conjugates including secondary antibodies.
